THE FUSE

The New York Times has delved deep into Donald Trump's financial disclosures from the first year of his second presidential term. Without a doubt, it was the most personally profitable period of any president's term in office, personally netting him a figure north of $2 billion. While much of that largesse was earned via Cryptocurrency sales, Trump has also become an investor in big tech. The paper reports that on July 23, he bought up to $5 million of stock in Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Broadcom. It notes, too, the purchases were made on the same day the White House would release its long-awaited AI Action Plan.
